Shakespeare or Cervantes?
In my book, Shakespeare wins by at least a length or two.
In my book, Shakespeare wins by at least a length or two.
- Shakespeare's genius feels universal. Cervantes, on the other hand, is persistently and intentionally Spanish.
- Don Quijote is an undisputed work of genius but even the sprawling world of that novel feels small compared to the worlds and minds that Shakespeare imagines.
- Cervantes keeps things close by working in prose, poetry, and drama. But, as the video suggests, there's no escaping Shakespeare.

Arthur C Brooks
“We in this country are facing a lack of visionary servant leadership. Any leader you can think of will say they are fighting for people, and this is a necessary but insufficient condition for being a leader, to fight for people that need you. But what we really need for real vision is level two and level three servant leadership. What’s level two servant leadership? It’s fighting for people that need you that you don’t need. Level three servant leadership is fighting for people who don’t like you. This is the problem, where we split into tribes where leaders only lead their followers.” Arthur Brooks, February 18, 2016, TED 2016, Vancouver, British Columbia
